You are trying to evade those which you know are your responsibilities.Three Strikes.

When natural disaster strikes, even the big banks, who are often portrayed as greedy sharks even throw in few extra days for people to put their lives together. 

@Chris Martin What's striking to me about the graphs, is that peak unemployment occurs right AFTER the recession is officially over.  

Lots of people make money in widgets.Good locations tend to hold value better than generic ones, attract the better tenants and have a greater likelihood of appreciation and a sale to a non-investor with a higher strike price when you exit.

Especially if they strike oil or gas or both.But putting the mineral rights issue aside, I suppose I simply need to contact the county assessor to inquire whether the property is considered multi family or not.

I can't see any reason to strike Kansas off your list.However, picking a city is more important.  

Any way I can strike a deal with the seller so the rehab cost is wrapped into the mortgage loan?

BP active CPAs are all real estate focused and should be strong candidates.You've got to strike the right balance between service and cost.

(Grant likes to ask this question to strike and see the interest in the property.)Do you have a favorite buyer at this time?

@Kevin Barnard I have a two strike policy.
